11. my gripe is

the people clapping, cheering and listening to her. That is what worries me about the gullibility, nay stupidity of the american voter! Why would any reasonable person listen to the ignorance and sheer lunacy of this idiot. To think she would have been the proverbial 'heartbeat away'. Americans dumbed down? For sure. I'm like Jessie Ventura, I' m actively trying to settle my affairs and move the fuck away from this country. Costa Rica has good medical care. I have friends that were born there and american friends that visit often. I don't like the huge american military presence there, but with america being the imperialist power it is in the 21st century, can't be helped. I'll just stay as far away from them as possible. I'm sick of the political absurdity of someone like palin being given a public forum time after time, gun violence present in all communities, hate, racism, homophobia, income equality, unfree press/news media, male fear of gender equality and sheer willful blindness to the lies spewed by the leaders at all levels of government in this country. Sorry, I went off.
